A Systematic Review of the Last Decade of Civic Education Research in the United States

The Optimization of Civic Education with the Assistance of Artificial Intelligence Devices

“…The virtual teaching assistants are created at the same time as the online learning platform, and they take up the daily management work such as the collection of preparation materials, the mastery of students' knowledge points, the analysis of learn-ing concern points, and the collection of roll call and afterclass homework, etc. Teachers are able to be appropriately freed from the tedious transactional work, which facilitates them to spend more time and energy thinking about the innovation of civics work and pay attention to students' individual characteristics; thus, it can be said that AI technology also creates a better teaching and research environment for teachers to continuously improve the level of education [9].…”

Competências de cidadania num modelo de educação flexível apoiado pela narração de histórias hipermedia

“…Las investigaciones desarrolladas en este campo por Kahne et al (2016) conciben la educación cívica -como se le nombra en el contexto escolar norteamericano (Fitzgerald et al, 2021)-como aquella capaz de producir acción ciudadana. En otras palabras, son aquellos procesos que proporcionan desde su experiencia a la participación del sujeto un vínculo más amplio de compromiso, y buscan profundizar en la comprensión de los problemas y en las formas de lograr un cambio en los espacios que al sujeto le interesan.…”

Introduction: Reclaiming Civic Education

“…This same pattern has continued to the present day. Despite calls for renewed attention to civic education from scholars and the public, a recent systematic review of civic education in the United States over the last decade showed that little has been done to understand or teach civic education differently than in previous decades (Fitzgerald et al, 2021). Although teachers and researchers alike have called for reconceptualizing civic education and consequently revisiting civic education pedagogies, particularly for students who are marginalized (Ginwright, 2010), these calls have largely gone unanswered (Fitzgerald et al, 2021).…”

In both theory and practice, civic education remains focused on outdated approaches which minimize young people's contributions to their communities (Payne et al, 2020), maintain inequitable access to civic learning (Atkins & Hart, 2003;Kirshner, 2015), and ignore calls to see civic participation more broadly to include ways in which young people are already engaged in civic life (Fitzgerald et al, 2021).…”
